Dark Star (1974)

John Carpenter and Dan O'Bannon established the very template for blue-collar space travel in this satirical classic. The scout ship Dark Star is an unglamorous technological shambles, full of peeling duct tape, faulty refrigeration units, and cramped bunks littered with dirty laundry. Its bored crew members must squeeze through cramped maintenance crawlspaces and reason with recalcitrant, bomb-dropping logic circuits.
